ROCCAT Swarm II is free device software for configuring compatible Turtle Beach products and selected ROCCAT products. It can update firmware, and supported headsets provide a dynamic 10-band equalizer, audio and microphone presets, and controls for microphone sensitivity, noise gate, and monitoring levels. The app can also assign functions to a remappable wheel and mode button on supported headsets. Profiles hold audio, microphone, and other adjustable settings. Some devices retain settings in onboard memory when Swarm II is not running, although not every configured function does. The Atlas 200 USB profile guide describes five onboard profile slots and automatic switching when an assigned game or program is active. The software is listed for Windows, Android, and iOS, but the Atlas 200 USB desktop version uses a USB audio adapter on Windows and cannot use the mobile version. Some advanced audio features available in 2.4GHz wireless mode may not work in Bluetooth mode. Basic device functions do not require Swarm II, though Turtle Beach says installing it is required to troubleshoot device issues.
Who it is for
It suits owners of compatible Turtle Beach and selected ROCCAT headsets, keyboards, or mice who want to configure supported device settings. Atlas 200 USB users should note the Windows desktop and USB audio adapter requirement.
